Don't call my name out your window when I'm leavin' I won't even turn my head Don't sent your kinfolks to give me no talkin' I'll be gone, like I said You'd say the same old things that you be sayin' all along Lay there in your bed, keep your mouth shut till I'm gone And don't give me that old familiar Cry and curse and moan Understand your man Meditate on it Understand your man And you can give my other suit to the Salvation Army And anything else I leave behind Ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my travelin' While I'm untangled in my mind And I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore While I am breathing air That ain't man breathe before I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter Then you'll understand your man Hear me talkin' now honey Understand your man Understand your man Meditate on it Understand your man
